OFFER UPDATE
The board of directors of UKRD Group Limited ("UKRD") has noted and considered
the announcement released by The Local Radio Company PLC ("Local Radio") on
Wednesday 1 April 2009 and particularly the statement that "the company's cash
flow projections show it requires an injection of funds by the end of April 2009
in order to continue trading".
In light of that announcement the UKRD Board reiterates that it has funding
available to allow an injection of working capital from UKRD into Local Radio as
soon as practicable once the Offer is declared wholly unconditional.
Accordingly, the UKRD Board strongly urges Local Radio Shareholders to accept
the Offer without delay to hasten the availability of much needed funding from
UKRD to Local Radio to enable it to continue trading after the end of April
2009. The UKRD Board would remind Local Radio Shareholders that the First
Closing Date is 1 p.m. on Tuesday 21 April 2009.
A copy of this announcement, together with the announcement referred to above
released by Local Radio on 1 April 2009, is being posted to Local Radio
Shareholders today.
